Hi Marling, First I would make a list of usual and "off the wall" tactics, read the list and enjoy a good laugh (as per your own perscription). Then you can: 1/ call in the troops: get all your friends, relatives, acquaintances, to call Rep. Riggs preferably within a few hours of each other. Show his office staff that you are a power to contend with! 2/ write letters, cards, send copies of your medical/pharmacy bills 3/ send the mail 'Certified" 4/ Rep. Riggs and his family live in Windsor, do you know anyone who lives there? Perhaps you can make a contact via the PTA, Little League, etc 5/ I assume you have been calling his DC office? Try calling his home offices, Eureka :707-441-8701, Napa:707-254-7308 and complain! It is possible that his staff is new and untrained. 6/ as a last resort, you can contact the local paper and "express yourself"! Good luck, Margaret At 09:38 PM 6/14/97 -0400, you wrote: >What advise can you give to one who calls and calls their representative (in my >case Frank Riggs) and gets no satisfaction.
